Fetterman Reams out NY Times for Platforming Terrorist Propaganda After Interview with Senior Hamas Official

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., accused the New York Times of spreading Hamas propaganda after the paper quoted Khaled Meshal, one of the terror group’s most senior officials, in a new report Tuesday, September 17.

The Times story, headlined “Hamas is surviving war in Israel. Now it hopes to thrive in Gaza again,” centers around an interview with Meshal, who insisted Hamas “is winning the war and will play a decisive role in Gaza’s future” despite Israel’s commitment to eradicate the terror group responsible for killing 1,200 people on October 7.

The Times interviewed Meshal for two-hours in his living room in Doha, Qatar, where he “offered rare insights into the thinking of Hamas officials,” the report reads. “In the interview, Mr. Meshal made clear that Hamas officials are not in a rush to conclude a cease-fire with Israel at any price, and will not give up on their main demands for an end to the war and an Israeli withdrawal,” the Times wrote.

Fetterman posted a screenshot of the story's headline on X, rebuking the outlet for giving one of Hamas’ most senior leaders a platform to promote the group’s message. “No idea why NYT would platform this propaganda from a terrorist. Undoubtedly, Israel will hold him accountable,” the lawmaker wrote.

“Hamas is no different than WWII Nazis and I fully support Israel’s commitment to neutralize them,” he added. (FN /VFI News)
